First 5 ingredients

This is the largest single category in FeedWise. It looks at which animal ingredients are present, whether the species is named, whether organs, egg and named fats are included, and whether concentrated plant proteins are diluting the animal content.

• Named animal protein first

  Chicken is a named animal ingredient in position 1.

  +8 / 8

• Animal Prominence Index

  Animal Prominence Index 39 of 100. This is a FeedWise position-weighted measure of how far animal ingredients dominate the ingredient panel. It is a label-position index, not a manufacturer-disclosed recipe percentage.

  +1.1 / 5

• Liver

  No liver in the ingredient panel.

  0 / 2

• Heart

  No heart in the ingredient panel.

  0 / 2

• Other appropriate organs

  No additional organ meats identified.

  Egg Product (Dried) is included.

  +1 / 1

• Named animal or marine fats

  Named animal or marine fat sources: Beef fat preserved with mixed-tocopherols.

  +1 / 2

• Verified animal ingredient proportion

  The manufacturer has not published an animal ingredient percentage. Excluded from the score rather than counted against the product.

  NOT SCORED

• Plant protein disclosure

  Concentrated plant protein is present: Corn Protein Meal. The manufacturer does not publish its inclusion level or the animal versus plant share of the crude protein, so the contribution is not quantified. This is deducted once under Ingredient Quality and is not counted again here.

  N/A

Every ingredient is classified into a quality tier and weighted by its position on the label, so ingredient number one counts far more than ingredient number fifteen.

• Position weighted ingredient quality

  11 food ingredients assessed by quality tier with early positions weighted most heavily. 28 fortifying nutrients or preservatives excluded from the average.

  +12.2 / 20

• Vague animal ingredients

  Animal ingredients without an identified species: Poultry By-Product, Fish Meal.

  -2

• Ingredient splitting

  Multiple fractions of the same core ingredient appear: CORN FAMILY (Corn Protein Meal, Whole Grain Corn, Corn Germ Meal).

  -2

• Concentrated plant protein

  Concentrated plant protein appears at position 3: Corn Protein Meal. Scored once here and not repeated in other categories.

  -3

• Estimated carbohydrate: not calculable
• Pulse ingredients detected: none
• Plant protein concentrates: Corn Protein Meal
• Ingredient splitting: CORN FAMILY (Corn Protein Meal, Whole Grain Corn, Corn Germ Meal)

Carbohydrate is not calculable because ash is not disclosed. It is left blank rather than overstated.

• Carbohydrate burden

  Carbohydrate is not precisely calculable because ash has not been disclosed. This is an evidence limitation, not evidence of high carbohydrate, so it is removed from the score and reported as reduced confidence.

  NOT SCORED

• Ingredient based plant load

  Plant load assessed as VERY HIGH. Carbohydrate bearing plant ingredients: Rice (whole grain), Corn Protein Meal (concentrated plant protein), Whole Grain Corn (whole grain), Corn Germ Meal (whole grain), Wheat Bran (refined grain).

  0 / 8

• Split plant fractions

  Split plant fractions understate the true plant load in the ingredient order.
